Anyone?

Hey Leona

Over Here!!! :hurray: I was sleeved on Dec. 26, 2011 by Dr. Hoffman from the Comprehensive Weight Loss Center at Buffalo General Hospital. He's a great surgeon and really nice guy. I live about 90 min. south of Buffalo

I was going there too but my insurance was making it impossible to even think straight. So am heading to mexico with dr alverez he's great and super nice. Have you checked out gastricsleeve.com. ?? I'm on there tooo lota cool peeps and recipies. Maybe if we get a good crew together we can all meet up somewhere!!

Hi Leona,

I cant blame you for skipping the insurance roller coaster ride. My insurance company put me through the paces and then some. I havent been on gastricsleeve.com before but will check it out. I would definitely like to make contact with sleevers from WNY. I dont know of any weight loss surgery support groups in Buffalo because I live too far away to think about attending regulary. But I am sure there must be, due to the fact that there are at least 2 different bariatric surgeon groups just in Buffalo. I have read lots of good things about Dr Alveres. You will be in good hands. If nothing else, going to Mexico would be a great break from the frigid weather in WNY this time of year. Do you have a surgery date yet with him? I head back to Buffalo this Wednesday for my 1 month post-op visit with Dr. Hoffman. I am hoping for a good number on the scale. I really want to be out of the 190s and am holding off on weighing myself until my appointment. Keep me posted on your sleeve journey.

hi there, i was also sleeved by dr hoffman. there is a support group at buffalo general, the 3rd wed of the month. we have a group that gets together every once in awhile.
